Topic: AVR ISP MKII programmer (Read 6760 times)

I just got this programmer and was confronting the problems most people have reported when trying to use it and suddenly an "upgrade" window popped up and the status light turned from green to red and orange blinking, and now the AVRStudio won't connect to the programmer!! please help!

Where it says short circuit I just used some solder and bent it and stuck them through the holes. And the pins that you short circuit are a part of a connection, a connection for soldering on a custom 10-pin programmer header, if you forgot to make a 6-pin connector on your circuit board for the expensive programmer. That was just FYI.

Hope that helps.

P.S. The manual upgrade, well... it manually upgrades and kind of resets the programmer but with a newer version that works.

Ok, here's the thing. I am able to program my robot now, but after reprogramming it a few times, it comes up with the same symptoms. I am able to fix it by going into the connection window and selecting my programmer and reconnecting. I think it's a poor connection problem...
